5-Ingredient Ground Beef and Vegetable Casserole

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Brown ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Drain excess fat.
3. Add diced onion and minced garlic; cook 2-3 minutes until onion softens.
4. Stir in mixed vegetables and cream of mushroom soup. Cook 5 minutes until heated through.
5. Pour mixture into a 9×13 inch baking dish and spread evenly.
6. Bake 25-30 minutes, or until bubbly and hot.
